Examples of indirect care include making the change-of-shift report, communicating and collaborating with members of the interdisciplinary health care team, and ensuring availability of needed equipment. Direct care refers to interventions that are carried out by having personal contact with patients. For example, direct-care interventions include cleaning an incision, administering an injection, ambulating with a patient, and completing patient teaching at the bedside. Referrals in health care involve sending a patient to another member of the interdisciplinary health care team for a consultation or other services.
